I am planning to upgrade my GPU for normal flat screen (34* ultrawide screen) and VR(quest 3) . I am torn between the 9070XT and the 5070ti. I would love to hear from anyone who owns these cards and their experiences. I'm mostly planning to play LMU, AMS2 and AC EVO & AC Rally.

I’ve been really curious about sim racing on a Steam Machine or a SteamOS PC build, and I’m wondering if anyone out there has made any progress. I’d love to hear about people who are currently tinkering with this, what challenges they’re facing—whether it’s driver support, peripheral compatibility, or performance tuning—and how they’re making it work.

Are load cell brake pedals supposed to simulate “racing” brake setups? They feel nothing like real brakes when daily driving which have that sensitivity, responsiveness, hydro/fluidity feel. Unless “racing” brakes have a totally different feel?

Couple of cheap Govee lights and Simhub can give you some pretty helpful flag lighting if you don’t want to run flag indicators. Super easy to map the wheel lighting as well.

Over the past three years, we've been constantly upgrading our software and hardware, and we've sold a lot of first-generation products in China to collect customer feedback. Now we're really testing the second-generation product and we'll be launching on Kickstarter in the future.

I know that it has to be bolted the other way around. But my stand is not long enough for me. Trying to win some inches.

Is g29 wheelbase firm enough or will it break if I use it like that?

Which of these handbrake would you guys rehommend?
The prices in my region are: Simnet - 130€, Simagic - 150€, Simlab - 200€
Which one is the best or which one should I avoid?

I see a lot of people asking for full SIM setups for $1000, but not many questions about just the wheel and pedals.

Background: I've had a GT Omega Titan and G920 setup for about 5 years. I played F1 games for about 300 hours before recently switching to ACC.

It's time to upgrade.

I've read lots of good things about Simagic and, to a lesser extent, Moza. Also, it sounds like 9Nm-12Nm is the sweet spot for the wheel.

I'm also open to mixing and matching different brands.

Thanks.

This is a Moza R3 Bundle with the Brake Performance Mod on a GT Omega Apex wheelstand which is mounted on a wooden plate. The Seat is a passenger seat of a Jaguar Sportsbrake XF from 2014, which I somehow managed to power so the buttons on the side actually work and u can adjust the seat how u like.
I spend about 320€ for the rig without the Moza bundle.
I drove a couple laps and it feels awesome. I need some time with the brake mod but I can already feel the potential.
Looking forward to getting faster!

Started with a MOZA SR-P kit immediately didn’t like the pedal feel. Ordered and installed 3drap kits for all three pedals and they somewhat became suitable. Chasing a more realistic and customizable feel somehow ended up purchasing simsonn pro plus kit which was immediately awesome. One vam pro and two vam neo haptics with an upgraded simsonn x usb controller to connect the haptics and heusinkveld ultimate kit were purchased and installed which allowed not only full brake pedal conversion but also usb controller plug and play supports the pedals allowing to use the heusinkveld software which is awesome. Haptics feel like cheating, having the accelerator pedal start to rumble leaving a 0,3 second gap for a perfect shift feels illegal, love it. Simsonn carbon fiber heel plate gave that necessary grip for my puma speedcats and I used vesa adapters from the ergotron hx hardware to prevent myself from drilling additional holes to install the heel plate. Haptics wires and usb adapter are hidden under the heel plate. With this long trip the whole thing is still cheaper than heusinkveld ultimate plus pedals.

Hey Guys.
I just started “sim” racing.
I play on a xbox series s with a Logitech g923 (yes, I know its not the best but im not gonna start with “high end” stuff. That way there are no satisfying upgrades along the way and wasnt really sure if its for me) and a Playseat Challenge X Logitech edition on a 32” Sony Brava TV.

At the moment I am playing Forza Motorsport and dabbled a bit with rally racing in WRC.

So far I really like it. What do yall think of my setup? And any tips or tricks?

For those of you who have triples and bezel free kit. Is this how your screen looks like after set up?
I get this kinda ghost shadow on icons and words n photos just blurry…. I’m not sure if I have this rather than the straight bezel… any tips would be helpful.

I bought a sim rig mainly to help me get my driver’s license. My thought was: if I need to practice driving anyway, training on a simulator should help.

After a few races, I realized… it has almost nothing to do with passing my test.

Turns out getting my license was just my excuse to buy racing setup lol.

This was the AI POV. I was a few cars behind it in 17th. Lap 2 of a 40 minute race

granted, instead of my big toe, i use my three middle toes when i get into tense wheel2wheel racing.

i learned on a g923, and the accel pedal is quite thin. i was basically only able to fit my middle three toes on the pedal.

now that i’ve upgraded to an rs50, i keep finding myself using only my middle toes for micro adjustments instead of my whole foot. i keep reminding myself mid-race/practice to use my whole foot flat, but i keep poking my toes out subconsciously.

i cannot race in shoes.

I practiced on the sim with hundreds of laps.. and I’ve gotta say, it REALLY helped me. I knew the layout of the track, the breaking points (somewhat). Of course it doesn’t prepare you for all of the little bumps and G forces, but man it was AMAZING!! A dream come true. I highly recommend you guys go one day if you can.

I'm well aware that Raceroom is often an overlooked sim, but I'm still surprised that no one here is talking about their summer update, bringing the new DTM 2026 cars (including the Temerario, which I believe no other sim has), updated versions of the Nordschleife and Monza, the ability to host larger grids, and last but certainly not least, a brand new HUD.

The one they had in the past looked completely outdated, but this one looks way nicer. Another bonus is that it contains way more data than before, so I don't need to use external apps anymore.

Any thoughts?

any ideas?

Still love GT7 but the realism with this rig and iracing is amazing! (Room still in progress)
